Is AD 98-24-11 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 98-24-11 requires a repetitive inspection every 100 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 98-24-11 apply to?

AD 98-24-11 applies to Mooney — models M20B, M20C, M20D, M20E, M20F, M20G, M20J, M20K. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Mooney Aircraft Corporation Models M20B, M20C, M20D, M20E, M20F, M20G, M20J, M20K, M20L, M20M, and M20R Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Mooney Aircraft Corporation (Mooney) Models M20B, M20C, M20D, M20E, M20F, M20G, M20J, M20K, M20L, M20M, and M20R airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the aileron control links for the installation of a reinforcing gusset; and, if no gusset is installed, repetitively inspecting the aileron control links (left-hand and right-hand) for cracks. If cracks are found, this AD requires replacing the aileron control links with parts of improved design. This AD is the result of service difficulty reports (SDR's) on the aileron control links and reported failures of the aileron control links. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct cracked aileron control links, which could result in loss of aileron control with consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 100 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Whether AD 98-24-11 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 98-24-11 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
